The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
4.0
Absolutely love the twist at the fnd. Bogdan was a goof chap!
I had high hopes for this after seeing all the reviews, and it came through but not in the way I was thinking.
I was constantly wondering whats next and the humour in this is lovely.

Normal People by Sally Rooney

I liked it, their story was tragic and beautiful. I'll probably add more when I have had time to think about it
I like the time jumping and the flipping into pieces of the past. Made it easy to flow back into after each reading. I wasn't yearning for this book, but once I started reading I found it hard to stop. I particularly loved connell and marianne's friendship, despite everything they went through they still had that bond.
But my LORD marianne please stop reading into things! The rest of the book wouldn't of had to happen if connell asked marianne if he could stay with her. Honestly. Though I forget these are kids - in their late teens and early 20s. So of course they're going to be awkward

The Institute by Stephen King

Initial review: It was good. At parts I was a bit slumped but that didn't last for long since the pace picked up quickly. It was nice to be introduced to Tim at the beginning snd then everything click Into place halfway through.
But my lord, 'I loved having friends' absolutely broke me. I'll probably still be thinking about this character for a while.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

Why is it over. I don't want to be over. I had high expectations but this book met them! And the Queer romance my lord was refreshing.
Loved linus as a protagonist, though Arthur could be a little too perfect sometimes the romance was adorable and their back and forth was amazing.
All the characters were amazing!! Honestly I love this book so much

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett

This got me laughing in the first 30 minutes or so. I listened to the audio book of the TV cast and they added so much character to the story! It kept me curious, entertained and happy.
We're Going on a Ghost Hunt: A Lift-the-Flap Adventure by Martha Mumford, Cherie Zamazing

The illustrations are beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous. The only downside I found when reading to my class is that they knew the bear hunt really well, and since some of the narrative is the same it threw them off while joining in. But I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Now She is Witch by Kirsty Logan

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars, because although not a lot happens the writing is beautiful. I wasn't sure where this story was going - but i feel the point was in the telling, the lessons learnt.
